@Lost Cause
If it makes you feel better, my character has absolutely no training in magecraft.

Inspiration drought.

Clearly, her water magic is based on droughts! :D

• Name: Erica Stirling
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Yes?
• Personality: Erica is your average stuffy British girl, coming across as cold and arrogant at times. This is mostly the result of her attempting to distance herself from others so as not to let them distract her from her studies. Perhaps her biggest annoyance about coming to America is her inability to find a decent cup of tea.
• Skills: Reasonably unremarkable, at least to the point of not having any specialist skills.
• Abilities: Erica has an affinity for the Water element, and as a result her spells largely consist of manipulating it either for offensive use, such as directing it as a weapon, to defensive use, such as the creation of a cyclical bounded field.
• Brief Backstory: Erica's bloodline is not particularly long or distinguished; she herself is only a third generation Mage. A student of the Clock Tower, she was sent to Redrock to study the confluence of leylines, as well as to act as a caretaker for the region in exchange for future training.
